StarWind Software Inc., a global leader and pioneer in SAN software for building iSCSI storage servers, is proud to announce Bicycle NSW, a non-profit organization from New South Wales Australia, deployed StarWind iSCSI SAN software with High Availability support.

As a supporter of community building and green environmental projects StarWind Software decided to contribute to the work of Bicycle NSW providing them with an enterprise grade SAN under the StarWind charity pricing program. In April 2010, StarWind Software upgraded Bicycle’s old StarWind SAN to the latest version adding support for High Availability, eliminating a single point of failure by providing dual storage node redundancy at the SAN layer.

"We are thrilled with such an extremely reliable and easy to manage SAN. StarWind allows us to store our Exchange data on the SAN, providing improved performance of our email system and increasing our uptimes at an extremely low cost," said Richard Dahl, IT Managerof Bicycle NSW.

Under StarWind`s non-profit, Government and Educational discounts organizations receive special pricing on all of StarWind Software’s SAN solutions to help deploy powerful and reliable SAN environments that leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure and eliminating the need to purchasing expensive hardware or re-train IT administrators.

Various editions of StarWind iSCSI SAN Storage Software are available to fit the storage requirements of both large and small organizations. StarWind’s SAN Software provides enterprise class features at SMB pricing: Replication, Synchronous Mirroring (HA) with automatic node failover, thin provisioning and snapshots/clones are all available.

Any non-profit, registered charity, Government or Educational organization that wants to take advantage of SAN are invited to contact our sales team.
